saying he could not talk English. When
Sergeant Budy addressed him in Ger
man he said he had nothing to tell.
Bernard KOhn put a few questions to
him in German and he fired up just a
little then and answered back. Then
he was led out and locked in cell No. l.
The boats which Kill wore were the
boots which belonged to Kohn. He had
on Kohn's watch and chain when ar
rested by Officer Kline, and these were
positively identified by the numbers
above. He had in his pocket pair of
gold cuff buttons, which Bernard KOhn
identified as belonging to his brother.
He also had So in silver, two knives, ON
one of which thdre is

a pipe, a piece of plug tobacco and a
a bunch of keys. The clothes and tin
box which were stolen have not yet
been found, but the police will
expect to rcco er them in some saloon
OF boarding house where Kill stopped
yesterday forenoon. The weapon with
which KOhn was murdered is about the
only thing lacking to make the proof
absolute.
Kill's looks are enough to condemn
him as a villain. He is thirty-three
years old. five feet and five inches tall,
and weighs 176 paunds. He has very
seems to be sunken into his high
shoulders. His complexion is dark and
his features scowling and sinister. He
worked sometimes as laborer, and
sometimes made a living tramping. He
boarded while working in West st. Paul
at 14S Dakota avenue, and stole
several suits of clothing from fellow
boarders there. He also boarded at the
Market hotel and the American house,
OH Wabasha street. He has two brothers
in the city-Peter Kill, employed in
the culinary department of the Wind
sor hotel, and John Kill, cook at the
Hotel Ryan, who lives at 215 West
Seventh street. He is a native of Lux
emborg, and speaks German and
French and very fair English.
THE MAN HE MURDERED
had a good reputation. He was happy
hearted young German, twenty-five
years of age, and rather good looking.
He had worked for Mr.. Hazard two
years. Joshua Robinson said of him: II
have known Jake for nearly two years.
He was a sober fellow and has
been at my house many time. He was
about as civil man as you would find"
Bernard KOhn, his brother. is farmer
and lives OIL the extension of Dale
street, three miles east of Hazards.
Kohn took his meals at Mr.: Hazards
present residence in Hamline, a
mile-and-a-half from. the house
where he slept and cared for the stock.
He was at supper as usual Tuesday
night, and drove Mr.. Hazards children
to the city to see the illuminations and
parade. At o o'clock he left Mr.. HaZ-
Yards residence to go to his bed,
and at 9:30 he was at Sanders
saloon at the Fair grounds.
entrance and drank two glasses of beer.
From there he started home. He was
probably murdered in his bed while
asleep. He had but little money, be-
cause he borrowed So of his brother a
week ago, saying that he did not
airy was $50 a month, and he had re-
ceived no money for some time.
On Sunday he received $50 for
some hay sold, and 81 for
calf, and this money he turned
over to Mrs. Hazard that night. The
theory is that Kill, who had worked
with him at Lade JOhannS', came there
OH Saturday. the day after his release
from the work house, and asked permis-
sion to sleep with KOhn until he could
get work. Kohn took him in
and treated him kindly, and
probably he showed Kill the
money he received Sunday, and Kill did
not know that he had turned it over to
Mrs. Hazard. To get that small sum
was probably the incentive to the crime.
Coroner Quinn will hold an inquest at
Gross undertaking rooms on Third
street to-day.
